The Leonhard Nachbar family came to America on the ship "Robert and Alice," arriving in Philadelphia in 1738 with other families who settled in the German Valley of Morris County, New Jersey[1-3].

Leonhard Nochber died in August 1766, and his will, dated 10 January 1765, bequeathed all of his estate to his wife, Margreata[5]. After her death, the lands were to pass to their son, Leonhard.

Maria Margaretha Nachber died 17 November 1770 in Long Valley, and was buried at the Old Stone Union Church Cemetery there[4]. The gravestone inscription says:

"Here lies the body of

Maria Margareta the wife

of Leanhard Nachber

who departed this life

November the 17th

1770 AD aged 72

years and 5 months"
